So the EU attempts to invade your privacy using smartphones [1] and forces duopoly-brand smartphones upon its citizens, yet it fails to compel Apple to allow true sideloading, so you're stuck choosing between "no freedom but some privacy" or "no privacy but some freedom"? Their digital policy initiatives overall seem like a net loss for EU citizens as it stands.

- kaliqt 2y agoThe EU as a whole is a net loss for citizens, always has been.
- izacus 2y agoYou really had to stretch a lot of bullshit just to rant over chat control here, didn't you?
- fractallyte 2y agoThe point is that we're being forced into a duopoly, which is unacceptable.
- NotPractical 2y agoI was trying to make a case that when you add up everything the EU has done recently with regards to digital policy, you get a net loss for EU citizens. Their attempt at chat control decrements the score by a significant amount. Amending the DMA to have it not be completely useless would increment it by a significant amount, but it is unknown if that will happen yet.
